This document contains 220 verified and graded exam questions with answers from Chapter 7 of Prehospital Emergency Care (11th Edition), focused on Anatomy and Physiology for the EMSP-1338 course in the 2025/2026 academic year. It is a complete and exam-focused resource, offering precise definitions and explanations essential for mastering the foundational concepts required in emergency medical services. The questions cover extensive EMS-relevant anatomy and physiology topics, including anatomical positions and planes (e.g., prone, supine, sagittal, transverse), directional terminology (medial, distal, superior, posterior), skeletal structures (bones, joints, vertebrae, cranium), muscular system (voluntary, involuntary, cardiac), circulatory and respiratory systems (atria, ventricles, bronchioles, alveoli, gas exchange), as well as nervous, endocrine, urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems. Also included are terms related to movement (flexion, extension, rotation) and emergency-specific positioning like Fowler’s, recovery, and shock positions. Best suited for: EMS and paramedic students studying for module exams or NREMT Emergency nursing students requiring system-by-system breakdowns Pre-med, allied health, and biology students with a clinical anatomy focus Instructors and exam-prep professionals needing ready-to-use Q&A sets This document is ideal for active recall, structured review, and mastering terminology used in clinical settings. It aligns with national EMS educational standards and supports high-stakes test preparation and coursework. Keywords: anatomy, physiology, EMS, EMSP-1338, body systems, anatomical positions, skeletal system, muscular system, respiratory system, circulatory system, directional terms, joints, movement types, exam prep, emergency care
